Sometimes, I'm just in the mood to have a good cry. How do I make it happen? Sometimes by watching a cheesy, sad chick flick, but more often, I pick up a book in hopes that it will have me in tears by the end!
Rather than give you my descriptions of these books, or how they're going to make you cry (book publishers and reviewers write lengthy descriptions for a reason!) I'm just going to give you a nice, long list of books I recommend for a good cry. Have at it (and don't forget your tissues!)
